Smyrna times., 1887-05-04

OF Mrs. Sophia DOsch, which was ex-
humed last week for removal to Phila-
delphia after being inferred Just a wear
was found to be in a perfect state of
preservation. II had been embalmed
by VIM. A. FAIRIES & Bro.
CALITHUMPIANIsM which has been
laid away for some years under
general reprObation, broke out afresh
last week and on Friday night and
last night the couples who have been
married this Spring were each given a
haze. The people other than the lads
engaged in it do not discover any en-
Joyable music in tin horns and horse
tiddles, and the boys will do we'll not
to go so far as to raise a general pro-
test.
ON Monday a man hired team
from the livery here to go to Chester
town. When he got to Millington the
morse balked-absolutely refused to 90
any further with the carriage. The
man settled the controversy with the
horse by taking him from the carriage
mounting his back and riding him
clear back to Smyrna, exchanged him
for a better disposed animal, rode back
to MillingtOn, hitched it to the carriage
and then continued his Journey to
ChestertOwn and back.
BY local notice in another place in
this issue it will be seen that John r
Cooper will keep a supply of school
books because the State Board will no
longer supply them. The State fur
nished them at cost and by misman-
agement lost several thousand dollars
and now proposes a considerable furth-
er loss by getting out of the business.
1here must OF necessity be an advance
IN the price Of books as a result of the
0ungling manner in which the State
has dealt with the school law and
superintendency.
OUR citizens who attended the con.
cert of the Fry Family in our Town
Hall several weeks since and who re-
member how delightful were its instru-
mental and vocal melodies will doubt
less be pleased to have a similar treat.
Ihis will be afforded on Friday even
ing the 18th, only from what the press
notlces says the Moss Family. father.
mother, four daughters and two sonsl
are represented as a family of sunerior
and more varied talent. 1t is an enter
5alnment that all can go, to and should
have large patronage.
THE contention over location which
in the district during the ses-
sion of the Legislature, was ended last
week by removing the school house
from Hamm's Branch near Betbel
church, to the town of Moorton. where
t has been planted a hundred wards or
80 on the east side of the railroad. The
Boys, like the children of Israel when
hey passed over Jordan, left large
pile OF stones on the spot to commemor-
lte the scenes Oftheir struggles with vul-
gar fractions and syntax, and note the
place where the rod, mot Aaron's rod1
mad rested.
